Question: 1 / 1820

Which medication for BPH may cause orthostatic hypotension/syncope?

Selective alpha-1A blockers

Selective alpha-1A blockers are the only medication listed that have the potential to cause orthostatic hypotension/syncope, as they can lower blood pressure and cause lightheadedness or fainting upon standing. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, beta-3 receptor agonists, and PDE-5 inhibitors do not have this side effect and are not typically used for the treatment of BPH.
